The 2021 Punt Road Cellar Reserve Pinot Noir is a limited-release Yarra Valley Pinot Noir that showcases the depth, complexity and aging potential of the region's finest vineyard parcels. With several years of bottle development, the wine reveals lifted aromas of red cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry alongside savoury notes of forest floor, dried herbs, spice and subtle oak. The Cellar Reserve designation reflects a more detailed and structured expression of Pinot Noir.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with silky tannins, bright acidity and impressive concentration. Layers of red berry fruit, dark cherry and gentle spice are balanced by earthy complexity and finely integrated oak, creating a wine with both elegance and structure. The finish is long, refined and persistent, highlighting the purity and finesse that define premium Yarra Valley Pinot Noir.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Pinot Noir enthusiasts seeking a more complex and cellar-worthy style. Drinking beautifully now, it also has the structure to continue evolving over the next 5–8 years. Pair with roast duck, game bird dishes, mushroom risotto, grilled salmon or herb-roasted chicken.
